| diego_ | @lordievader I talked to you earlier. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get into Recovery Mode. The guys from the IT were recommending found what you had suggested earlier about something with the graphic card. | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| diego_ | I am looking for help to my startup session. Someone suggested | 00:54 |
| diego_ | I was suggested there is a problem with graphic drivers. | 00:54 |
| diego_ | However, I can't get through to even start in recovery mode. I am using a second computer to open this chat and get help. | 00:55 |
| sgclark | diego_: do you have a grub boot screen (to choose an OS) when you reboot? | 01:12 |
| sgclark | diego_: if so you need to choose Advanced boot options from the list. Then on that list you need to choose the option that says (recovery mode) | 01:15 |
| diego_ | No, only a Boot Menu, and System Recovery | 01:15 |
| diego_ | but the System Recovery will start the same as the Normal Startup | 01:15 |
| sgclark | diego_: what version are you using? | 01:16 |
| diego_ | I have Ubuntu 14.04 and Kde 4.something | 01:16 |
| sgclark | hmm | 01:16 |
| sgclark | that sounds odd | 01:17 |
| diego_ | If I do normal startup I'll get a login screen with my user and I enter my password. After that the blue splash screen will stay on with the mouse moving, but won't go through. | 01:17 |
| sgclark | diego_: you can get to a console with ctrl alt F2 | 01:18 |
| diego_ | yes. | 01:18 |
| sgclark | diego_: I would try to do an update / install the video driver in the console | 01:19 |
| sgclark | diego_: I am unaware of any system recovery :( | 01:19 |
| sgclark | never seen that | 01:19 |
| sgclark | I usually go through advanced options in grub, unsure why you don't see that | 01:19 |
| diego_ | I was able to see it two times earlier in the day when the problem started. | 01:20 |
| diego_ | By the way, do I have to answer with @ ? to have directed messages? | 01:20 |
| sgclark | just typing the name should work | 01:21 |
| diego_ | sgclark, thanks... I hope it's not much to ask about the video driver command? | 01:23 |
| sgclark | what video card do you have? | 01:24 |
| sgclark | diego_: lspci | grep VGA will tell you | 01:25 |
| diego_ | I'm sort of newbie here. | 01:25 |
| diego_ | it says VGA compatible controller | 01:26 |
| sgclark | np, in the console type ^ | 01:26 |
| diego_ | Intel Corporation Gen Core processor Graphics Controller | 01:26 |
| diego_ | (rev 09) | 01:26 |
| sgclark | great, one sec for command | 01:26 |
| sgclark | diego_: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel | 01:28 |
| diego_ | Oh-oh it says it's already the latest version. | 01:29 |
| sgclark | have you done an sudo apt update | 01:30 |
| sgclark | then sudo apt upgrade | 01:30 |
| sgclark | this will check for new packages and install them | 01:30 |
| diego_ | Yes, but it shows a lot of errors. | 01:30 |
| sgclark | eek | 01:30 |
| sgclark | that is the problem I bet | 01:31 |
| sgclark | try sudo apt -f install | 01:31 |
| diego_ | I did sudo apt-get update... Is that the same as sudo apt update? | 01:32 |
| sgclark | yes | 01:32 |
| sgclark | have you recently add any new PPAs? | 01:32 |
| diego_ | I'm usually careful with PPA's. | 01:33 |
| sgclark | apt errors can lead to destruction | 01:34 |
| sgclark | run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 01:34 |
| diego_ | It shows a list of unmet dependencies: | 01:36 |
| sgclark | yup, that is very bad | 01:36 |
| sgclark | hense why you cannot login, your desktop is broken | 01:36 |
| diego_ | Oops. I think the last risky thing I did was trying the unstable Chrome to run Android apps following OMGUbuntu's | 01:37 |
| diego_ | Do you recommend doing a clean install? | 01:37 |
| sgclark | Honestly it may be the easiest | 01:38 |
| diego_ | It could also be removing and reinstalling MySQL Workbench. | 01:40 |
| diego_ | Anyways, thank you for your help. Greetings from Mexico City. | 01:40 |
| sgclark | something removed kubuntu-desktop or is blocking a dependency. I can't know without looking at your files sorry :( | 01:41 |
| sgclark | Np! good luck. | 01:41 |
| diego_ | thanks | 01:41 |

| diego_ | @sgclark, hello I'm back | 03:08 |
| diego_ | I'm looking for someone familiar with kubuntu-desktop to help me find broken dependencies. | 03:10 |
| diego_ | Basically it won't go through the splash screen at startup, and from the tty's I got a list of said unmet dependencies. | 03:15 |
| diego_ | e.g. Dependes: kde-workspace but it is not going to be installed | 03:15 |
| diego_ | e.g. Recommends: kmail but it is not going to be installed. | 03:15 |

| Saphyel | I guess you have to install ubuntu server | 11:54 |
| Saphyel | you may get a lot of errors if you try that | 11:54 |
| lfrlucas | Saphyel: It was originally ubuntu server | 11:59 |
| lfrlucas | then I installed kubuntu-desktop | 11:59 |
| lfrlucas | and add ppa | 11:59 |
| lfrlucas | now I want to remove all kde stuff | 12:00 |

| lfrlucas | And leave ubuntu-server | 12:00 |

| === kbroulik is now known as kbroulik-lunch | ||

| lovesh | I have 8 gb. do u use kde plasma 5 with kubuntu? | 15:22 |
| jubo2 | I dunno | 15:22 |
| jubo2 | I use what came with 14.04 | 15:22 |
| lovesh | ok so u have plasma 4 | 15:22 |
| jubo2 | 8GB is more then enough for only one OS | 15:22 |
| jubo2 | 8GB is the minimum recommended | 15:22 |
